Notes from the workshop
Practical advice on wood, finishes and looking after joinery in the Delta climate.
Quick tips
Small things, long life
Wipe, do not soak
A damp cloth is enough for lacquered doors. Never pour water.
Felt pads
Under vases and lamps on hardwood tops.
Rainy season check
Ease sticking doors by planing, not forcing.
Termite watch
Look for mud tubes at skirting level every few months.
From the bench
Why we season every board
Fresh timber can hold half its weight in water. We stack and dry it under cover for weeks before it is cut, so it does not move once it is in your home.
